Gene, I think it's great you have a DW who's as excited as you are about your excursions. I look forward to and enjoy every trip. Although my gf likes to go, she still sweats very penny played. Even though I supply the majority of the bankroll.
I get excited for trips to Vegas I always fall into the same routine...
I have trouble sleeping-Start weaning myself down to 3hrs a night in preparation
Over planning-Meals, Shows, New drinks
Researching on the web New shows, New games, etc..
Trip booked in May and I am double booking myself for the first time to take advantage of a couple nice offers, figure I will screw CET with play and keep MLIFE happy.
Cheers
B
